As far as metaphors go, I've seen Star Wars used nicely: The Empire: Microsoft Darth Vader: Msft's VP of Internet...I forget his name Emperor: Bill G. Jabba the Hut: Andy Grove The Universe: The Internet The Force: Java The Dark Side of the Force: Active X Imperial Tie Fighters: Windows CE Imperial Cruisers: Windows 95 The Death Star: Windows NT The X-wing fighter: The NC The Rebel Alliance: Netscape, Oracle, Sun, etc. Obi-wan Canobi/Yoda: Marc Anderseen Luke Skywalker: Larry Ellison Han Solo: Scott McNealy Princess Leia (w/sex change): Jim Barkdale I'm geared up for lots of hate mail about this, but please recognize that I don't claim credit for any of it, and it's all in good fun. I have nothing but the highest degree of respect and gratitude for Microsoft & Intel, for what they've done in bringing computing to its current extremely useable state, and what they will do propelling it forward. So with that said...damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
